Module Ten;
Today we looked at Wikki and Ning. Not having used either before it was good to see what these actually are. With the limited knowledge I have I would suggest that Wikki has more educational benefit for primary students.

I really liked the Wikki rules...simple, straightforward and clear. I also find that it is very simple for students to click on edit, so they can write, and it is a document ready to use. They then click save and it is ready to make further changes in the future. It brings together a variety of online tools in one place eg you can embed videos.

Ning appears to work in a similar way to Facebook i.e. a way of organising social networks together. It could be used more safely than Facebook with students by setting up a certain group of users with certain features and only able to do certain things, but I would be rather careful with it.
